20110105358 | SINGLE MOLECULE REAL TIME SEQUENCER, NUCLEIC ACID ANALYZER AND SINGLE MOLECULE REAL TIME SEQUENCING METHOD - An object of the present invention relates to selectively control an extension reaction within a desired area in a substrate. In the present invention, an oligo probe arranged with a caged compound at the terminal thereof is immobilized to a reaction field area in the substrate. After pouring a reaction solution into a flow cell including the reaction field area, the reaction field area alone is irradiated with light to associate the photodegradation-active protecting group at the terminal of the oligo probe that has been immobilized in the reaction field area and thus to selectively control initiation of a polymerase extension reaction. In the flow cell, a plural number of the reaction field areas are arranged at constant interval on the substrate. The flow cell immobilized to a moving stage is moved by a distance equal to the interval between the adjacent reaction field areas and then light irradiation is carried out to measure the extension reaction continuously. By repeating these operations, the base extension reaction is stably measured in the flow cell without using complicated channels or without replacing the reaction solution. | 05-05-2011 |

That is, the excitation light travels as the transmitted light, the reflected light, or the surface propagating light. These lights are sensed by the corresponding optical sensors, and how the angle of incidence of the excitation light is with respect to the critical angle is determined. The angle of incidence of the excitation light is varied depending on the result of the determination, thereby realizing an optimum total reflection angle. | 05-26-2011 |
